What are Calorie and Foot

Definition of Calorie

The calorie is a unit of energy that historically was defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Although largely replaced by the joule in scientific contexts, the calorie remains widely used in fields such as nutrition. In nutrition, it typically refers to the kilocalorie, which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Its origins date back to the 19th century when energy measures were in demand for understanding the human diet.

Definition of Foot

The foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is equivalent to 12 inches or one-third of a yard. Historically, the foot was based on the length of a human foot, which varied in actual size. The unit has been used in diverse cultures and was standardized in the 20th century to equal 0.3048 meters exactly. Today, the foot is primarily used in the United States for everyday measurements, such as height and distance, and in aviation worldwide.

10000 cal/cm² 1000 ft·lbf/min/ft²

Conversion of Calorie to Foot

1 cal/cm² = 0.1 ft·lbf/min/ft²
1 ft·lbf/min/ft² = 10 cal/cm²

Example 1:
convert 5 cal/cm² to ft·lbf/min/ft²:
5 cal/cm² = 5 × 0.1 ft·lbf/min/ft² = 0.5 ft·lbf/min/ft²

Example 2:
convert 3.5 cal/cm² to ft·lbf/min/ft²:
3.5 cal/cm² = 3.5 × 0.1 ft·lbf/min/ft² = 0.35 ft·lbf/min/ft²
